cleanup netware page

edit

You've done a great job of extending the Roger Billings page. If you have time could you take a look at the NetWare page. It is sound enough, but it doesn't mention any of the precursors to NetWare, particularly it doesn't mention FSD, and you seem to know more about this than me.

Also FSD should have a page of its own.

By the way, we usually try to make as many internal links and as few external links, and keep the externals in a "see also" section near the bottom. Book links are easy, you just write ISBN then the 11 (or 13?) digits.

Thanks again for your work on Billings. Zeimusu | Talk 13:59, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)


I just wanted to draw your attention to the talk pages for these articles, and I'd like to discuss the reasons for your deletions in these articles there. Thanks. COGDEN 03:06, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. tregoweth 14:51, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

When you blanked Church of Jesus Christ in Zion, your comment was as follows: "This information is completely false. I think that this page should be recontructed only by people having firsthand knowledge." If you have first-hand knowledge, you are invited to make corrections. However, it is not appropriate to simply blank the page. COGDEN 17:34, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

The paragraph about the Church of Jesus Christ in Zion was deleted from the Polygamous Mormon fundamentalists article because it did not apply. There is no connection, and the indication to the contrary was unfounded.

The article Church of Jesus Christ in Zion was temporarily blanked with the comment that it contained false information that was defamatory. Having been a member of that group, I know for a fact that the things stated are not correct.

I finished my edits and the article was corrected, and a discussion of the changes, references, and reasoning behind the changes was posted to the discussion section of that page.

Unfortunately, I've been "outed", and called to task by my "contact" in the group about what I have written here (which I have deleted). I just want to explain that I never meant to imply that I had any real first-hand knowledge about the church, and that most of what I know is second-hand or third-hand. My "contact" in the group did not actually verify any of the information in this article, and agrees with you that most of the original article is false. COGDEN 17:54, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

edit

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:RogerBillings001.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:RogerBillings001.jpg, which you've attributed to International Academy of Science. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:10, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
